Guys to be fair to all here's what's happening.
Bonus points for this round on time-base are completed. No more to be awarded. The last to PM has been scrapped.
Bonus points for 100% correct and for providing most info are still there. Even an extra word like "this happened in year xyz" instead of just the answer gets you those points.
Bonus points for most involved team discussion are scrapped as Gryffindors and Hufflepuffs might find that unfair since they didn't know about it.
Going forward I will announce the number of possible bonus point categories there are. Like I said earlier, these are just small wins. In the grand scheme of things they are nothing. Look at it here. You had a possible 150 points to be won from the questions. At most you would get maybe 30 points from bonuses. Next round if you have another 150 points from the actual round and only 30 from bonuses, it is next to nothing.
But nonetheless I do not plan on scraping the bonus points. Instead I will announce the number of bonus point categories and try to group them. There will be no more hidden time-based bonus points. If there are any, they will be announced with the round details.
I will also provide hints on what the next round is going forward. So the hint for round 2 is: creativity with teams working together.
